_Rhymes on Places_ (Vol. v., pp. 293. 374. 500. 547.).--The following
rhymes (if so they can be termed) respecting the exploits of a certain
giant named Bell, and his wonderful sorrel horse, whose leaps were each a
mile long, are, or were a few {619} years since, prevalent in this
neighbourhood among the inhabitants of the villages therein mentioned. The
legend has been noticed by Peck:
"Mountsorrel he mounted at,
Rodely[12] he rode by,
Onelept[13] he leaped o'er,
At Birstall he burst his gall,
And Belgrave he was buried at."
